after the latest...

after the latest 'misdimeanour' at school, I was standing outside the headmaster's office awaiting my punishment, this teacher went past, muttering...'I wouldn't like to be in your shoes Gee'

I still puzzle over this remark, was it...

a) because they were chizel toe shoes (one of the fashions in the early 60's)

or

b) because they were size 5 and he looked more like a size 9/10...

I guess it was likely to be (b) on the grounds that they would have crippled him...rather than looking rather silly having dispensed with his brogues for a pair of chizel tips!

Reminds me of the scene in Kes when the lads were lined up waiting for the stick for smoking...XD

Kes, one of my favourite films.
